You Can Take the Girl Out of Texas...

...But you can't take the Texas out of the girl!

I decided to start this blog as a way of keeping all of my Texas friends and family informed on what all is going on with my life. So here is a quick tid bit on what all has gone on since moving to CA and getting married. CA is beautiful YES! The weather is awesome YES! However, the DMV is awful and so are the crazy Californian drivers.
My first week in CA consisted of about 8 hours in the DMV (4 trips) which resulted in a license that now says I am 8’3. I got a ticket a few weeks later for going through the Fast Track. (We just have tolls in Texas so I didn’t know). A few weeks ago I got a ticket that’s costing me twice as much as it would if I were in Texas. Ok so a lot has gone wrong while I have been here. I forget things and I get lost all the time. For those of you who know me well this is not normal. I am very on top of things and extremely organized. But every day God shows his loving mercy through my husband’s patience ☺. He is also a great Guinea pig as I learn to cook.
Even though there isn’t a lot of southern hospitality here I have met some amazing people. And truth is all we really need is a few good friends. So I guess CA really isn’t too bad. I do live 15 minutes from the beach, I am surrounded by bike trails, beautiful mountains and wonderful weather!
I graduated with my masters this last December and I am now an ME.d in Kinesiology. I’ve just started working as a wellness coach and I am loving it! So if you need any tips on losing weight, gaining energy, kids nutrition or just improving your overall health I’d love to tell you what I am doing!
That’s all for now! Here are a few pictures of my new life in CA! Enjoy!
